DNV Solutions

Vikas Malhotra
Mr. Vikas Malhotra, Director
DNV Solutions
Incorporated in the year 2009; we, at DNV Solutions, are proud to be the first manufacturing company of uPVC hardware in India. Since our inception, we are engaged in developing Espags (TG) for sliding as well as casement doors and windows. Our range of products includes multipoint locks, handles, rollers, friction stay and other accessories that can suit varied specifications of profiles from various manufacturers including Fenesta, EnCraft, Wintech, etc. We are the only company in India that manufactures SS 304 multi point systems.

Through this exhibition, we want to promote DNV brand to our valuable customers and pass this further on to their respective customers. Our aim is to make them believe that their dependency on import is over as DNV has products that are affordable and can match international standard in terms of both quality and performance.

As of now, share of uPVC in the country' window systems industry is just 5 to 6%, which we expect will shoot up soon as the market is growing at an average rate of 25 to 30%. Further, with rapidly increasing awareness among the end-customers, the industry is expected to get the needed boost.

Vibrant Technik

The company will be displaying a range of Metal Louvers, Aerofoil Solar Shading Systems, and CNC Cut Aluminium Metal Sheets for Façade. All these products are imported from Fameline, Thailand. In addition, the company will also showcase Stretch PVC Ceilings from Barrisol, France; CIELUMA Light Frames from Sefar, Switzerland; and Metal Meshes for Façade.

Aluminium Metal Sheets

All these products are green. While Barrisol ceilings are made of stretch PVC and are 100% recyclable, CIELUMA light frames come with pre-fitted energy-efficient LED lights from Zumtobel, Austria. Aluminium louvers and aerofoils are recyclable to an almost 100% with very little energy consumption.

We see a great future ahead as the concept of louvers is picking up in architectural facades in India nowadays. As more people travel all over the world, particularly to Europe and Middle East, they demand that such modern materials be used in their building façade designs.

Through this participation, the company wants to promote our range of offerings to architects and designers not only across Delhi / NCR but to trade visitors and specifiers coming from various parts of the country. At the show, they will have a right place to learn about the companies offering such contemporary products.
